Pillar Car Protectors
Wrap-around protection for car park pillars reduces maintenance costs for car park owners and is much appreciated by vehicle owners. The Parking Shop supplies a PCP popular with local authorities that can be printed with a customer’s requirements and used to publicise council services. It is made from fire-resistant recycled material that absorbs scrapes. Heavy duty AddGuard column protectors that can be cut to fit square or rectangular pillars are available from the online Parking Shop Direct. They are very strong, easy to install and can be ordered with reflective signage.
Vehicle Guidance System
The Parking Shop is the UK distributor for leading Vehicle Guidance System ParkHelp. The state-of-the-art system provides benefits for car park operators and drivers by minimising the time it takes to find a vacant space. Using illuminated signs, distribution of cars is managed efficiently and energy consumption reduced. Operators can boost revenues by increasing the filling rate of a car park.
The same infrastructure can be used for an integrated LED lighting system offering better illumination of the car park with significant savings in energy consumption.

There are various opportunities for advertising within and around car parks and the Parking Shop can advise operators on effective ways to attract advertising income. Products include floor and wall vinyls, plastic pockets for pillar car protectors and vinyl wraps for entrance/exit barrier arms.
